Met Office warns of unsettled wet and windy conditions
Discussing the change in weather, Met Office spokesman Ollie Claydon said: “Temperatures are to become more mild for the time of year after this cold snap.
“Though it will be less cold rather than very mild – a return to normal, or average, temperatures.
“There will be some wintry showers over the Scottish mountains, as you would expect, but it (precipitation) will be falling as rain rather than snow in most areas.”
The warmer weather, expected to last at least until Thursday, comes after the cold snap forced dozens of schools to close, caused disruption on the roads and left homes without power because of snow.
About 100 schools closed in northern Scotland on Thursday, while in Wales, 36 were closed in Pembrokeshire, 14 in Carmarthenshire and seven in Ceredigion.

A yellow weather warning for ice had been in place until midday on Friday in the North East.
